opposite of early adopters are early abandoners, my Leicas are useful tools that I enjoy using, so if they lose value, i don't care, I bought then to use, lucky I didn't get rid of all my books, when the big buzz was the printed page is dead, how many of you actually have and use an e-book, haven't even heard of e-books for a while.

Heather, just a word of caution about A.C. from a NJ peace officer, A.C. can be a bit dicey off boardwalk, even on the boardwalk stay where people are, ends are a bit deserted. boardwalk and where casinos are fun. lots of great shots to be had. but unfortunatly A.C. has a drug problem, neighborhood streets are not safe, especially with camera around neck, think NYC at during crack epidemic, I am not saying don't go A.C. can be a lot of fun, just use common sense and stay safe, it is not disneyland. others may say nonsense, but why look for trouble, it can find you, two blocks off boardwalk

please forgive me, BUT speaking as a retired law onforcement officer a Mossberg 10 ga. Roadblocker is excellent if you can still find one, otherwise I like to use a VC 21mm up close on an M6.

If we are trying to stack focal lengths, may I suggest a 28-35-50-75-90-135 Sex-Elmar. A Sex-Elmar could prove to be very versatile. Maybe even a best seller in the non-photo market.

I own both an M6TTL and an M7. I find there is nothing so annoying about the M7 vs the M6 that would preclude me from buying another M7 if I had to replace it. In point of fact the M7's automation makes it faster to use. In fact I am thinking of obtaining a motor drive for the M7, Leica glass, exposure capability and Convenience. Don't get me wrong, still like my M6TTL .58 and Tri-Elmar, also a perfect package IMHO.

I suppose the the title is appropriate if the season you are greeting is Halloween.

If your camera has a red dot treat it with a course of ciprofloxin

immediatly for ten days. This is contagious and can spread to other

gear. I ignored the red dot and know all my lenses have a red raised

dot on them. Send this letter to ten of your friends.

Adorama this month played the old "it's in stock we'll ship it right

out" game. A week later when I called "it just got back in stock

we'll ship it today. Another week later " we'll ship it today". item

ordered April 5, received April 23. Items shipped from NYC usually

reach my house in NJ 2-5 days.

Never mind the Voigtlander lens, this is the opportunity for

Voigtlander to step in and fill a real need. Make the 1.25 magnifier

to fit the Leica and sell it for a reasonable price, and most of all

have it available. I venture to say it would probably be a best

seller.

Conversly my research has shown that taping a red dot to my Holga has

not made me more vulnerable to street muggings.

Proves the old photo adage "if you think you're too close, get

closer."

What about --- Which is better the Hexarlander G2 or the M7 ?
